VOL. L. NO. 193. COLUMBUS, TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 13. 1889. ESTABLISHED 1811. KO STEP BACKWARD, Improved Qualifications Must Be Possessed by Teachers in the Indian Schools. Order Issued for the Removal of Collector Boss's Office to the Ancient Metropolis. pelegates to Commercial Congress Ohioans in Luck. Washington, Aug. 12. The commissioner of Indian affairs having received a large number of applications for appointment as teachers in Indian schools has .sent the following reply to ail applicants : "Your application for appointment as teacher has been received. Inclosed please Hind blanks to be filled out and returned." It is the purpose of the office to appoint no person as teacher in the Indian school service who would not be able to secure a similar position in the best schools for white children in the community in which he resides. Indeed, the exigencies of Indian schools are sucn as to require really s higher orderof talent to secure success than is required in ordinary teaching. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that those who are engaged in the Indian school service should be persons of maturity, of vigorous health, with some experience in leaching and with special fitness for the work. Preference is expressed for those wh? have had a Normal school training. It is very undesirable that persons should enter the service who, by reason of ill health, age or other infirmities, are unable to do full, vigorous work." Delegates to International Conference.

Washington. Aug. 12. Special.

As the case stood Congressmen Onthwaite, Pugs-ley and Thompson were urging that the office be permanently established in their respective districts and the action of the commissioner is thought to mean that the whole matter will be referred to Senator Sherman at a later day.

Information About the Sioux Reservation.Washington, Aug. 12. Numerous telegrams have been received in this city asking for information in regard to the Sioux Indian lands and many persons appear to have the impression that the President's jioclaniutiiU is all that is now needed to make the lands a part of the public domain and as such open to settlement. This impression is not founded on the law and is erroneous. One ot the acts of Congress requires that Congress shall ratify anv agreement made with the Indians before the agreement saall become of effect, and it will, therefore, be necessary for the report of the commission lo be sent to Congress and favorable action taken thereon before the President can declare the lands open to settlement. It will be a good while before settlers can go upon the lauds. Exports of Cotton. Washington, Aug. 12.

Senator Hale has as guests tonight President Harrison, Secretaries Blaine and Tracy, Mrs. Wilmer-ding, Mrs. Blaine and Mrs. Lodge, Mrs. Gay and Mrs. Guerney. The President and party came this morning, and a ride over the country has constituted the chief feature of the day. After lunching with Senator Hale the President was entertained in the house and strolled through the grounds until about 4 p. m. Then, with Secretaries Blaine and Trscy and other members of the party, he was driven to Hancock hall, where a reception was held. This was the first formal popular reception that he had held since leaving Boston on Wednesday, and the people ot Ellsworth turned out in large numbers to greet him. The President stood upon a raised platform in front of the stage, and, after an introduction to the committee who had managed the affair, shook hands with the people as they passed before him, many of them being introduced by Mayor Aiken and Judge Wiswell. After shaking hands with the President the people greeted the other dignitaries in the presidential party. The reception occupied fully an hour. It was a popular affair in the fullest sense of the word, and at its close people gathered on the sidewalk in front of the hall and cheered the President and party as they were driven away. This evening there is a dinner party at Senator Hale s. It includes, in addition to the visitors from Bar Harbor, Judge and Mrs. Enierv, Judge and Mrs. Wiswell and Mr. end Mrs. Gordon Cummings. The weather today has been the best that the President has seen in New England.

There were rumors of an attempt to be made by the negroes to burn in effigy Captain Lyons and his daughter, who figured in the postoffice troubles here the other day. Between 5u0 and 10U0 white men, ell armed, met at a given point and wire ready to prevent any such affair. There was no trouble on the part of the negroes, and at the instance of Governor Gordon the crowd dispersed. AFTER THE BEUISERS The Grand Jury at Purvis Beeins the Hearing: of the Snllivan-Kilrain Fighters. Propositions to Compromise the Case Will Sot Be Entertained by the Authorities. The Fly People in ew York Getting: a Bit Scared. ; New Orleans, Aug. 12. The Times-Democrat's Purvis, Miss., special says: The entire party, who spent the night here defendants in the prize fight case, sheriff and jurors were up early this morning. The people came here from miles around, the greater portion oi them out of curiosity. Sullivan and the other defendants were'in the best of humor, and Sullivan conversed with all who came in contact with him. Quite a crowd soon gathered about the depot awaiting the arrival of the train from Meridian, which came in on time bringing Judge S. H. Terriii, District Attorney Neville and a number of attorneys. Judge Terrill lives as Quitman, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. He ia a splendid specimen of physical manhood, speaks deliberately and is considered a first-class jurist. Most of his rulings have been confirmed by the Supreme court. The judge stated that this special term of court cad been called partly at the request of the Governor and partly from the demands of the good people of Marion county, as made kr.own through the public prints; and, furthermore, because the regular term of one week in December would be inadequate to the necessities which the prize fight would add to the regular business of the term, he, the referee, yielded to what seemed to be the requirements of the public service aqd called this special term to dispose of this special business. All the accused are here except Pat Duffy, whose absence was accounted for by the district attorney, who had failed to notify him. General Superintendent Carroll of the Queen and Crescent was not present, but the general belief is that he will not be indicted by the grand jury. The foreman of the grand jury is T. R. White, a mill owner at Poolar. When one of the stands fell at RichDurg during the fight Mr. White was the only person injured. The grand jury are an intelligent body of men and are highly spoken of by the citizens.Judge Terrill, in his charge to the grand jury, after referring to the wicked, illicit traffic in liquor in this vicinity, said: "Gentlemen, but little need be said of the prize-light which took place at Richburg on July 8 last. The principals in said fight and all accessories before and after the act are guilty of a high misdemeanor. A fight by consent, without anger or ill will between two parties, without any stase, reward or prize whatever, would be a serious crime under our law, made so by legislative enactment. You are bound by your consciences, acting upon the iaw as declared to you from this stand. Anger or ill will is not necessary to constitute a crime of assault and battery, nor does the consent of the party take away the guilt of the offense. A battery is an unlawful physical force, inflicting injury or hurt upon another, whether done in malice or wantonness; it need not be in anger." The judge proceeded to illustrate by examples and cite authorities sustaining the interpretation of the law as laid down by him. The delivery of the charge occupied about fifteen minutes. Counsel for the defense, who were attentive listeners, pronounce the cnarge very fair and moderate. Outside of the legal gentlemen the opinion Erevailed that under the charge it would e impossible to find indictments against any but Sullivan and Kilrain. Several citizens were at a loss to see how Fitzpat-rick could be considered an aider or abetter, when a referee is selected on account of his fairness and disinterestedness; this point was generally discussed. District Attorney Neville said tonight that he could not tell when the grand jury would return any indictments. While determined to vindicate the law, the jury would have to have full and satisfactory proof before making any finding. He knew that one of the grand jurymen is one of the bondsmen for some of the accused, but he had not objected to him, b cause he knew the gentlemen too well to have any fear on that account. Mr. Neville stated that some suggestions of compromise had been made to him, but said he could not listen to any proposition until the grand jury had reached some decision. He can not ac cept any compromise, but can recommend one to the court. He could not say what would happen. For the present ho was attending to the grand jury. Later. Nothing tonight indicated that the grand jury had done anything today. Careful interviewing with the accused showed that they were not aware that the grand jury had found an indictment today against Sullivan aud Kilrain. Although they have not presented the one indictment to the court it was agreed upon. District Attorney Neville was asked" tonight if Sullivan and Kilrain have been indicted, on what charge could it be? After a few seconds' pause he replied: "Well, on three or four different counts prize-fighting, assault and battery, gambling, etc." The indictments may not be presented to the court until late tomorrow afternoon. The Boys Evidently Scared. New York. Aug. 12. When the news reached the city this forenoon that a Mississippi grand jury had found indictments against tne ew lorKers who naa taken a hand in the prize fight by "aiding and abetting." there was consternation among the sports, and it was deemed expedient to take some decided steps to protect "their rights'.' as American citizens. An evening paper states that a small coterie of Sullivan's sympathizers and backers got together anil hzured on the particular individuals Governor Lowry of Mississippi would ask Governor Hill of New York to surrender to him. It was quite a list they made out, and here are some of the principal members. William Muldoon, Charley Johnson, James Wake-ly, Jack Barnett, Michael t'leary. Jack Cu-sick, Daniel Murphy, Charlie Henkel, William Germann. Arthur Lumley, Frederick Willett and Tbaddeus Rich. These gentlemen were either directly or indirectly aiders and abettors in behalf of the great John L. On the other side of the house the men selected as victims of Governor Lowry's vengeance, aside from Jake Kurain, are 1' rank fttevenson, W iiliam E. Harding, Mike Donoyan, Denny Butler, Richard K. Fox, Lewis B. Allen, Ed Mallo-han, B'lly Madden, Billy O'Brien and Pat Sheedy. Lewis B. Allen, in the law office of Howe it Hummel, is the gentleman who tanked down $5000 in the Clipper office for iirain. It was said late this afternoon that the adherents of both parties had agreed to raise a flag of truce, shake hands and see each otner through. One scheme reported was in effect that the party should go South and surrender to the Governor. But the scheme most favored was to engage eminent counsel and make a big tight before going South. It was suggested that Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, Daniel Dougherty and Bert Cochran be retained in their behalf. If such a trio could be secured to defend theni they felt well satisfied Governor Hill, after hearing the facts, would emphatically refuse to honor Governor Lowry's requisition. Efforts will probably be made within twenty-four hours to retain these leading members of the New York county bar. Eben S. Allen Indicted. New York, Aug. 12. The grand jury to day indicted Eben S. Allen, the defaulting president ot tne xorty-secona ana orana Street Railroad company, lor forgery in the first decree and uttering forged paper. Allen is anxious to plead guilty, but as the law stands he must be tried on the first count. The district attorney is consiaer- ing the acceptance of a plea of guilty on the second count. The spurious stock issued is a trine over 1000 shares. SLICK M It. HIGOLNS. How He Is Alleged to Have Malcted His Old Partner. Boston, Aug. 12. A few weeks ago the firm of H. W. Tilton & Co., stock brokers at 17 Exchange place, was dissolved by mutual consent, Mr. H. W. Tilton continuing at the old office. For some days afterward Henry J. Higgins, Mr. Tilton'a ex- partner, made a practice of visiting the place early every morning. It has just been learned that Higgina had, during his visits, opened the morning mail and taken checks from letters, indorsed them in the firm's name and got them cashed. The entire amount obtained in this way is said to be about $3200, and it is also charged that he embezzled $2800 from Mr. Tilton before the firm was dissolved. Higgins is benevea to have gone to Montreal. THEY SHOT TO KILL. Ending of the Williamson-Calhoun Dnel-Now Peace Eeign Supreme and Everybody Satisfied. Chattanooga, Tenst., Aug. 12. The duel between J. D. Williamson and Patrick Cal houn took place about twenty miles from Rome, Ga., on the Rome and Decatur road. very near, if not on, the state line of Alabama and Georgia. The duelists were placed in position twelve paces apart, in a dense timber, and at 7:30 o'clock, when it was just dark, the order to nre shots in rapid succession was given and simultaneously both pistois went on. Williamson in a jmy emptied his revolver, but Calhoun fired only one shot, being unable to handle the weapon. Ihe pistols were 38-calibres, hammerless, self-actine Smith & Wesson. Neither one was hit, and Calhoun then commenced to parlev with V llhamson. telling him that he had four balls which he had a right to shoot, lie said he didn t want to kill his opponent, and if he would retract he would tire his pistol in the air. Williamson claimed the right to have his pistol reloaded, but this was not agreed to by the seconds.. He said he would die in his tracks before he would re tract nnless Calhoun would first withdraw his offensive language. After some more parleying, during which Williamson re quested Calhoun to fire, aa he wanted his gun reloaded, Calhoun stated that be had no intention of reflecting Personally upon Williamson in his speech before the legislative committee. After this statement Williamson withdrew his epithet and the cun was fired into space and the principals shook; hands. The seconds drew up formal papers stating tnat tne quarrel haa Deere conoraoiy aa-iusted and Deace reigned supreme. Why neither of the principals were hit is remarkable, both men being good shots, It can probably be accounted for by the fact that it was dark and, the outlines of each were barely visible:' There is no question that both shot to ul. TROY. i : Floneer Picnic Industrial and Political Notes. Trot, O., Aug. 12. Special.! There have been several very heavy showers of rain here during the past two weeks, keeping the Miami river bank full for several days, but they have resulted in great good to the growing corn crop. So far as the wheat crop has been threshed, the yield has been unexpectedly large, in many cases exceeding twenty-five bushels to the acre. Quality good. The Miami county pioneers held their annual meeting at Wilson's grove, near here, last Saturday. There was an unusually large turnout of both old and young. The day was spent in social intercourse and short talks by the older members.Some of our Democratic papers are trying to smirch the character of Dr. Sterrett, the Republican candidate for representative, but their efforts will all prove abortive. The aoctor, with the rest of the Republican ticket, will be elected with the usual good majority that Miami county is in the habit of giving to worthy candidates. , A new industry is about to be started here in the manufacture of the ''A r ire-bright folding bed," recently patented by Daniel Argebright, on of our skilled mechanics. Its great superiority consists in the ease with which it is worked, together with the durability; making, when folded, a handsome piece of furniture, occupying a space no larger than a dressing case or wardrobe. Our carriage-works, buggy-works and wagon-works are all running to their full capacity and are crowded with orders. IHK RIOTOVS HUN'S. No Outbreak Likely I'ntil Work is .Resumed..,..Pittsburg, Aug. 12. A special from Greensburg, Pa., says: No demonstration was attempted by the Huns at Hecla today. However, their movements this afternoon were regarded suspiciously. Twenty additional armed men were sent to the works at 5 o'clock this evening by Sheriff Byers. They are now stationed in front of tlie works doing guard duty, and it is thought no outbreak will occur, at least until work is resumed, and that may not be for several days, as the damage has not yet been repaired. A fight occurred between the Huns at Mammoth this afternoon, and one of them received probably fatal injuries. They are loqnging about their homes tonignt and there are no signs of a disturbance, the odly dangerous element seemingly being the women, wbo are mating all kinds of threats and who are quarreling among themselves. THE TIPHOID FEVER. Letter from President of Kentacky State Board of Health. Louisville, Kt., Aug. 12. President Thompson of the state board of health has published a letter concerning typhoid fever. It is directed to health officials especially. He says typhoid fever is undoubtedly produced by the entrance into the system of the germs of the disease thrown off in fecal matter. Tne medium by which this is conveyed is usually well water, though somo times ice, milk and other articles. The increase of the disease is called to the attention of officials, and special attention to disinfection in cases of the disease is enjoined. People in general are warned to secure an entireiy safe water supply or to boil all water. Sensible Saloon Men. Kansas City, Aug. 12.

Chevalier Louis Cortencin, president of the Italian chamber of commerce, today received from King Humbert of Italy .the cross of the Italian Legion of Honor. THAT DAKOTA HOWL. Alleged Indignation Meetings Over the Xocation of Public Institutions There. A Strong: Attempt to Be Made to Secure a Reconsideration of the Convention's Vote. Helena to Be the Capital of Montana Tutil 1892. Bismarck, Dak., Aug. 12. The committee on revision aud adjustment has completed its work and a complete Constitution will be submitted to the convention tomorrow. It is hardly safe to give a synopsis of the constitutional amendments as they are recommended by the committee and in all probability will be adopted. Among these ia the recommendation to strike out tne section which . provides that no corporation can blacklist to prevent laborers from securing employment. The reason given for striking out this is that it conflicts with section 9 of the bill of rights, which provides that every person shall have the right freely to speak, or tne ngnt to nis tnouguts or opinions. The committee also recommends the striking out of the section providing for townshiD organization, on the ground that it is ambiiruous and confusing. A number of delegates returned to the city today and the convention will reas semble tomorrow. inose wno return lrom Jamestown and Grand Forks, the points where indignation meetings have been held because of the location of the public institutions, give amusing accounts of the proceedings. At Jamestown it was claimed that Attorney General Nickius was the prime mover in bringing about the indignation meeting. and yet he bad not a word of censure after the delegates arrived on the scene. He arrived here today, and says that Bismarck has always been his choice for the capital, provided Jamestown could not get it. Matthews of Grand Forks, who led the opposition to the location of the institutions, sa3s he never has been for Jamestown, believing that the capital should be at Grand Forks. These are the chief points in North Dakota where indignation meetings have been held and tho only places that agree in the fight against Bismarck. It is expected that large committees from these places will arrive tomorrow to attempt to change the vote when it comes to the final adoption of the Constitution and some lively scenes may be witnessed. As the articles locating the public institutions have already been adopted by the convention and the motion to reconsider has been laid on the table, it is difficult to see how they expect another vote on it unless the committee on revision should recommend changes." This the committee does not do. The Grand Forks people are evidently deluded by the fact that the Constitution is to be acted upon by the convention after returning from the committee on revision. This is so with all that went from the committee of the whole to the committee on revision, but the article locating the public institutions was adopted by the convention and not bv the committee of the whole. If the nghj on the CnsUtatioai,gijKn " WjiJ, ne some time neiore me convention adjourns. It is the opinion of a majority that if Grand Forks and Jamestown were not candidates for the capital their indignation over the policy of the convention in locating the public institutions might have weight, but as ail the disinterested localities are pleased, and as telegrams of approval are pouring in from all portions of the state, it is believed the convention will pay very little attention to the howl of the defeated. A Victory for Helena. Helena, Most., Aug. 12. In the convention todav the committee on suffrage reported back without recommendation the proposition to submit woman suffrage as a separate proposition. Mr. Kennedy moved to lay the report upon the table. The motion was lost, and Mr. Warren moved to suspend the rules and adept the resolution as a separate proposition. The motion was lost on a lie vote, and so the question rests. A proposition making the keeping of "black lists" a felony was referred to the committee on labor. The capital question came up next. A motion to submit the location of the capital in the year 1891 to the vote of -the people was amended to read that the temporary capital shall remain at Helena until such election takes place. Thus Helena remains the capital until the election of 1892. UPPER SANDUSKY. Burial of Mrs. SUafer Proposed Lock- Works Minor Mention. Upper Sandusky, O., Aug. 12. Special.

The wife of Levi Troup of Little San dusky, this conntv, was buried today. Deceased was 35 years of age. A movement is on loot to organize a building and loan association in this city. MARION.

Mis rigut loot was ground completely off by the cars at the ankle. He was on his way to La Rue, he said, and his residence is unknows. ON THE AMBOY DIVISION. A Wreck that Might Have Been More Disastrous. Barnegat, N. J., Aug. 12. The east and west-bound morning trains on the Amboy division of the Pennsylvania railroad, packed full of. passengers to and from the shore, collided at East Moorestown, a few minutes after 9 o'clock, but the accident resulted in nothing more than slight injuries to a few persons and the wreck of the collided engines.

A Cleveland Physician Sots Out to Secure a Proper Test of 'I his 'ew Sensation. He Administers It to a Class of Thirty-Two Persons Suffering Positive Ailments. The Result of the Tests Will Made Known Today. Be Cleveland, O., Aug. 12. Within a few days the public will, in all probability, have settled convictions concerning Brown-Sequard's "elixir of life." The question of the efficacy of restoring lost energy and building up wasted systems was submitted today to a jury, as intelligent probably as could have been selected. It was not a jury of twelve, which is considered sufficient for the ends of justice, but a tribunal of thirty-two ladies and gentlemen. That their verdict might have weight in the scientific world, espcial care wus taken in the selection. The first requisite was that tliey should hut-e some positive ailment. Tile next consideration was that they should be persons of suuud intelligence and good standing in the community. Dr. 11. C. Brainerd, in conducting tho experiment, made a number of tests on a email scale, as hns been done in other cities, and then determined upon a final trial of the new energy generator. He proceeded in the work of making the final experiments with care ami close attention to details, in the morning he visited Brighton and was given the privilege of selecting victims lor the slaughter from a large Hock of sheep. They wero killed in his presence, and alter having secured tiie parts desired for the experiments, he started back to the city. The jurors who were qualified for service by having the fluid injected into their systems comprised twenty-four men and eitlit women. There were attorneys, doctors, ministers and business men. One was a lightning manipulator who was suffering from telegraphers' paralysis. It was arranged tnat" they should make a written statement of the effects of the experiment, and tomorrow afternoon tney will submit the reports. In a large number of the cases two reports will be required. L'por receiving thestatemontsDr. Brainerd will compile a concise and very candid report of the result of the experiment. IJe feels that bis scientific reputation is, in a measure, at stake, and he will present the situation in its proper light. If the experiment is a complete failure the report will say so. and if it is followed by the fullest measure of success that fact will be duly set forth. It is probably the first test made in a systematic manner, and will be the first scientific report given to the public. Among Dr. Brainerd's callers today was a Mr. Vader, living at No. 01) Hoiidley street. He had been suffering from a spinal trouble known as locomotor taxis, and received an injection of the elixir several days ago. Ho said today and his appearance indicated a much that he was greatly improved. Mr. Vader was given another allowance of the fluid, being the first man to whom the doctor has given a second injection. His case will be watched with a great deal of interest, that jl may be ascertained whether not he has received permanent benefit. ' - ' Elixir on a Findlay Man. Finplav, O.. Aug. 12. Special.l Dr. T. V. Bcardsley of this city made a successful experiment with the new elixir of life today.

The patient, Julius Harris, afllicted with all the ills of humanity was treated to a hypodermic injection of the fluid in its Hire state, no water being used. Within lalf an hour the exhilarative effects were felt by the patient and be is now most certainly a greatly changed man. The treatment will be continued on Mr. Harris for at least three weeks.

Order Issued for the Removal of Collector Boss's Office to the Ancient Metropolis. pelegates to Commercial Congress Ohioans in Luck. Washington, Aug. 12. The commissioner of Indian affairs having received a large number of applications for appointment as teachers in Indian schools has .sent the following reply to ail applicants : "Your application for appointment as teacher has been received. Inclosed please Hind blanks to be filled out and returned." It is the purpose of the office to appoint no person as teacher in the Indian school service who would not be able to secure a similar position in the best schools for white children in the community in which he resides. Indeed, the exigencies of Indian schools are sucn as to require really s higher orderof talent to secure success than is required in ordinary teaching. Emphasis is laid upon the fact that those who are engaged in the Indian school service should be persons of maturity, of vigorous health, with some experience in leaching and with special fitness for the work. Preference is expressed for those wh? have had a Normal school training. It is very undesirable that persons should enter the service who, by reason of ill health, age or other infirmities, are unable to do full, vigorous work." Delegates to International Conference.

Information About the Sioux Reservation.Washington, Aug. 12. Numerous telegrams have been received in this city asking for information in regard to the Sioux Indian lands and many persons appear to have the impression that the President's jioclaniutiiU is all that is now needed to make the lands a part of the public domain and as such open to settlement. This impression is not founded on the law and is erroneous. One ot the acts of Congress requires that Congress shall ratify anv agreement made with the Indians before the agreement saall become of effect, and it will, therefore, be necessary for the report of the commission lo be sent to Congress and favorable action taken thereon before the President can declare the lands open to settlement.

AFTER THE BEUISERS The Grand Jury at Purvis Beeins the Hearing: of the Snllivan-Kilrain Fighters. Propositions to Compromise the Case Will Sot Be Entertained by the Authorities. The Fly People in ew York Getting: a Bit Scared. ; New Orleans, Aug. 12. The Times-Democrat's Purvis, Miss., special says: The entire party, who spent the night here defendants in the prize fight case, sheriff and jurors were up early this morning. The people came here from miles around, the greater portion oi them out of curiosity. Sullivan and the other defendants were'in the best of humor, and Sullivan conversed with all who came in contact with him. Quite a crowd soon gathered about the depot awaiting the arrival of the train from Meridian, which came in on time bringing Judge S. H. Terriii, District Attorney Neville and a number of attorneys. Judge Terrill lives as Quitman, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. He ia a splendid specimen of physical manhood, speaks deliberately and is considered a first-class jurist. Most of his rulings have been confirmed by the Supreme court. The judge stated that this special term of court cad been called partly at the request of the Governor and partly from the demands of the good people of Marion county, as made kr.own through the public prints; and, furthermore, because the regular term of one week in December would be inadequate to the necessities which the prize fight would add to the regular business of the term, he, the referee, yielded to what seemed to be the requirements of the public service aqd called this special term to dispose of this special business. All the accused are here except Pat Duffy, whose absence was accounted for by the district attorney, who had failed to notify him. General Superintendent Carroll of the Queen and Crescent was not present, but the general belief is that he will not be indicted by the grand jury. The foreman of the grand jury is T. R. White, a mill owner at Poolar. When one of the stands fell at RichDurg during the fight Mr. White was the only person injured. The grand jury are an intelligent body of men and are highly spoken of by the citizens.Judge Terrill, in his charge to the grand jury, after referring to the wicked, illicit traffic in liquor in this vicinity, said: "Gentlemen, but little need be said of the prize-light which took place at Richburg on July 8 last. The principals in said fight and all accessories before and after the act are guilty of a high misdemeanor. A fight by consent, without anger or ill will between two parties, without any stase, reward or prize whatever, would be a serious crime under our law, made so by legislative enactment. You are bound by your consciences, acting upon the iaw as declared to you from this stand. Anger or ill will is not necessary to constitute a crime of assault and battery, nor does the consent of the party take away the guilt of the offense. A battery is an unlawful physical force, inflicting injury or hurt upon another, whether done in malice or wantonness; it need not be in anger." The judge proceeded to illustrate by examples and cite authorities sustaining the interpretation of the law as laid down by him. The delivery of the charge occupied about fifteen minutes. Counsel for the defense, who were attentive listeners, pronounce the cnarge very fair and moderate. Outside of the legal gentlemen the opinion Erevailed that under the charge it would e impossible to find indictments against any but Sullivan and Kilrain. Several citizens were at a loss to see how Fitzpat-rick could be considered an aider or abetter, when a referee is selected on account of his fairness and disinterestedness; this point was generally discussed. District Attorney Neville said tonight that he could not tell when the grand jury would return any indictments. While determined to vindicate the law, the jury would have to have full and satisfactory proof before making any finding. He knew that one of the grand jurymen is one of the bondsmen for some of the accused, but he had not objected to him, b cause he knew the gentlemen too well to have any fear on that account. Mr. Neville stated that some suggestions of compromise had been made to him, but said he could not listen to any proposition until the grand jury had reached some decision. He can not ac cept any compromise, but can recommend one to the court. He could not say what would happen. For the present ho was attending to the grand jury. Later. Nothing tonight indicated that the grand jury had done anything today. Careful interviewing with the accused showed that they were not aware that the grand jury had found an indictment today against Sullivan aud Kilrain. Although they have not presented the one indictment to the court it was agreed upon. District Attorney Neville was asked" tonight if Sullivan and Kilrain have been indicted, on what charge could it be? After a few seconds' pause he replied: "Well, on three or four different counts prize-fighting, assault and battery, gambling, etc." The indictments may not be presented to the court until late tomorrow afternoon. The Boys Evidently Scared. New York. Aug. 12. When the news reached the city this forenoon that a Mississippi grand jury had found indictments against tne ew lorKers who naa taken a hand in the prize fight by "aiding and abetting." there was consternation among the sports, and it was deemed expedient to take some decided steps to protect "their rights'.' as American citizens. An evening paper states that a small coterie of Sullivan's sympathizers and backers got together anil hzured on the particular individuals Governor Lowry of Mississippi would ask Governor Hill of New York to surrender to him. It was quite a list they made out, and here are some of the principal members. William Muldoon, Charley Johnson, James Wake-ly, Jack Barnett, Michael t'leary. Jack Cu-sick, Daniel Murphy, Charlie Henkel, William Germann. Arthur Lumley, Frederick Willett and Tbaddeus Rich. These gentlemen were either directly or indirectly aiders and abettors in behalf of the great John L. On the other side of the house the men selected as victims of Governor Lowry's vengeance, aside from Jake Kurain, are 1' rank fttevenson, W iiliam E. Harding, Mike Donoyan, Denny Butler, Richard K. Fox, Lewis B. Allen, Ed Mallo-han, B'lly Madden, Billy O'Brien and Pat Sheedy. Lewis B. Allen, in the law office of Howe it Hummel, is the gentleman who tanked down $5000 in the Clipper office for iirain. It was said late this afternoon that the adherents of both parties had agreed to raise a flag of truce, shake hands and see each otner through. One scheme reported was in effect that the party should go South and surrender to the Governor. But the scheme most favored was to engage eminent counsel and make a big tight before going South. It was suggested that Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, Daniel Dougherty and Bert Cochran be retained in their behalf. If such a trio could be secured to defend theni they felt well satisfied Governor Hill, after hearing the facts, would emphatically refuse to honor Governor Lowry's requisition. Efforts will probably be made within twenty-four hours to retain these leading members of the New York county bar. Eben S. Allen Indicted. New York, Aug. 12. The grand jury to day indicted Eben S.

The duel between J. D. Williamson and Patrick Cal houn took place about twenty miles from Rome, Ga., on the Rome and Decatur road. very near, if not on, the state line of Alabama and Georgia. The duelists were placed in position twelve paces apart, in a dense timber, and at 7:30 o'clock, when it was just dark, the order to nre shots in rapid succession was given and simultaneously both pistois went on. Williamson in a jmy emptied his revolver, but Calhoun fired only one shot, being unable to handle the weapon. Ihe pistols were 38-calibres, hammerless, self-actine Smith & Wesson. Neither one was hit, and Calhoun then commenced to parlev with V llhamson. telling him that he had four balls which he had a right to shoot, lie said he didn t want to kill his opponent, and if he would retract he would tire his pistol in the air. Williamson claimed the right to have his pistol reloaded, but this was not agreed to by the seconds.. He said he would die in his tracks before he would re tract nnless Calhoun would first withdraw his offensive language. After some more parleying, during which Williamson re quested Calhoun to fire, aa he wanted his gun reloaded, Calhoun stated that be had no intention of reflecting Personally upon Williamson in his speech before the legislative committee. After this statement Williamson withdrew his epithet and the cun was fired into space and the principals shook; hands. The seconds drew up formal papers stating tnat tne quarrel haa Deere conoraoiy aa-iusted and Deace reigned supreme. Why neither of the principals were hit is remarkable, both men being good shots, It can probably be accounted for by the fact that it was dark and, the outlines of each were barely visible:' There is no question that both shot to ul. TROY. i : Floneer Picnic Industrial and Political Notes. Trot, O., Aug. 12. Special.! There have been several very heavy showers of rain here during the past two weeks, keeping the Miami river bank full for several days, but they have resulted in great good to the growing corn crop. So far as the wheat crop has been threshed, the yield has been unexpectedly large, in many cases exceeding twenty-five bushels to the acre. Quality good. The Miami county pioneers held their annual meeting at Wilson's grove, near here, last Saturday. There was an unusually large turnout of both old and young. The day was spent in social intercourse and short talks by the older members.Some of our Democratic papers are trying to smirch the character of Dr. Sterrett, the Republican candidate for representative, but their efforts will all prove abortive. The aoctor, with the rest of the Republican ticket, will be elected with the usual good majority that Miami county is in the habit of giving to worthy candidates. , A new industry is about to be started here in the manufacture of the ''A r ire-bright folding bed," recently patented by Daniel Argebright, on of our skilled mechanics. Its great superiority consists in the ease with which it is worked, together with the durability; making, when folded, a handsome piece of furniture, occupying a space no larger than a dressing case or wardrobe. Our carriage-works, buggy-works and wagon-works are all running to their full capacity and are crowded with orders. IHK RIOTOVS HUN'S. No Outbreak Likely I'ntil Work is .Resumed..,..Pittsburg, Aug. 12. A special from Greensburg, Pa., says: No demonstration was attempted by the Huns at Hecla today.

A fight occurred between the Huns at Mammoth this afternoon, and one of them received probably fatal injuries. They are loqnging about their homes tonignt and there are no signs of a disturbance, the odly dangerous element seemingly being the women, wbo are mating all kinds of threats and who are quarreling among themselves.

Alleged Indignation Meetings Over the Xocation of Public Institutions There. A Strong: Attempt to Be Made to Secure a Reconsideration of the Convention's Vote. Helena to Be the Capital of Montana Tutil 1892. Bismarck, Dak., Aug. 12. The committee on revision aud adjustment has completed its work and a complete Constitution will be submitted to the convention tomorrow. It is hardly safe to give a synopsis of the constitutional amendments as they are recommended by the committee and in all probability will be adopted. Among these ia the recommendation to strike out tne section which . provides that no corporation can blacklist to prevent laborers from securing employment. The reason given for striking out this is that it conflicts with section 9 of the bill of rights, which provides that every person shall have the right freely to speak, or tne ngnt to nis tnouguts or opinions. The committee also recommends the striking out of the section providing for townshiD organization, on the ground that it is ambiiruous and confusing. A number of delegates returned to the city today and the convention will reas semble tomorrow. inose wno return lrom Jamestown and Grand Forks, the points where indignation meetings have been held because of the location of the public institutions, give amusing accounts of the proceedings. At Jamestown it was claimed that Attorney General Nickius was the prime mover in bringing about the indignation meeting. and yet he bad not a word of censure after the delegates arrived on the scene. He arrived here today, and says that Bismarck has always been his choice for the capital, provided Jamestown could not get it. Matthews of Grand Forks, who led the opposition to the location of the institutions, sa3s he never has been for Jamestown, believing that the capital should be at Grand Forks. These are the chief points in North Dakota where indignation meetings have been held and tho only places that agree in the fight against Bismarck. It is expected that large committees from these places will arrive tomorrow to attempt to change the vote when it comes to the final adoption of the Constitution and some lively scenes may be witnessed. As the articles locating the public institutions have already been adopted by the convention and the motion to reconsider has been laid on the table, it is difficult to see how they expect another vote on it unless the committee on revision should recommend changes." This the committee does not do. The Grand Forks people are evidently deluded by the fact that the Constitution is to be acted upon by the convention after returning from the committee on revision. This is so with all that went from the committee of the whole to the committee on revision, but the article locating the public institutions was adopted by the convention and not bv the committee of the whole. If the nghj on the CnsUtatioai,gijKn " WjiJ, ne some time neiore me convention adjourns. It is the opinion of a majority that if Grand Forks and Jamestown were not candidates for the capital their indignation over the policy of the convention in locating the public institutions might have weight, but as ail the disinterested localities are pleased, and as telegrams of approval are pouring in from all portions of the state, it is believed the convention will pay very little attention to the howl of the defeated. A Victory for Helena. Helena, Most., Aug. 12. In the convention todav the committee on suffrage reported back without recommendation the proposition to submit woman suffrage as a separate proposition. Mr. Kennedy moved to lay the report upon the table. The motion was lost, and Mr. Warren moved to suspend the rules and adept the resolution as a separate proposition. The motion was lost on a lie vote, and so the question rests. A proposition making the keeping of "black lists" a felony was referred to the committee on labor. The capital question came up next. A motion to submit the location of the capital in the year 1891 to the vote of -the people was amended to read that the temporary capital shall remain at Helena until such election takes place. Thus Helena remains the capital until the election of 1892. UPPER SANDUSKY. Burial of Mrs. SUafer Proposed Lock- Works Minor Mention. Upper Sandusky, O., Aug. 12. Special.

The Result of the Tests Will Made Known Today. Be Cleveland, O., Aug. 12. Within a few days the public will, in all probability, have settled convictions concerning Brown-Sequard's "elixir of life." The question of the efficacy of restoring lost energy and building up wasted systems was submitted today to a jury, as intelligent probably as could have been selected. It was not a jury of twelve, which is considered sufficient for the ends of justice, but a tribunal of thirty-two ladies and gentlemen. That their verdict might have weight in the scientific world, espcial care wus taken in the selection. The first requisite was that tliey should hut-e some positive ailment. Tile next consideration was that they should be persons of suuud intelligence and good standing in the community. Dr. 11. C. Brainerd, in conducting tho experiment, made a number of tests on a email scale, as hns been done in other cities, and then determined upon a final trial of the new energy generator. He proceeded in the work of making the final experiments with care ami close attention to details, in the morning he visited Brighton and was given the privilege of selecting victims lor the slaughter from a large Hock of sheep. They wero killed in his presence, and alter having secured tiie parts desired for the experiments, he started back to the city. The jurors who were qualified for service by having the fluid injected into their systems comprised twenty-four men and eitlit women. There were attorneys, doctors, ministers and business men. One was a lightning manipulator who was suffering from telegraphers' paralysis. It was arranged tnat" they should make a written statement of the effects of the experiment, and tomorrow afternoon tney will submit the reports. In a large number of the cases two reports will be required. L'por receiving thestatemontsDr. Brainerd will compile a concise and very candid report of the result of the experiment. IJe feels that bis scientific reputation is, in a measure, at stake, and he will present the situation in its proper light. If the experiment is a complete failure the report will say so. and if it is followed by the fullest measure of success that fact will be duly set forth. It is probably the first test made in a systematic manner, and will be the first scientific report given to the public. Among Dr. Brainerd's callers today was a Mr. Vader, living at No. 01) Hoiidley street. He had been suffering from a spinal trouble known as locomotor taxis, and received an injection of the elixir several days ago. Ho said today and his appearance indicated a much that he was greatly improved. Mr. Vader was given another allowance of the fluid, being the first man to whom the doctor has given a second injection. His case will be watched with a great deal of interest, that jl may be ascertained whether not he has received permanent benefit. ' - ' Elixir on a Findlay Man. Finplav, O.. Aug. 12. Special.l Dr. T.
